It would have been more like 8 1/4 if I hadn't had chain issues at the very end.

We only went up to the pond so don't know what was above it. As you can see that meadow still has some snow. The stream was going pretty well as you can see from my videos. Some of the crossings were up to the hubs.

How's the shoulder and when are you going to be able to ride again?

Just got cleared to ride a week ago. :thumbsup: I don't think the doctor meant riding with you fella's though. I'm so out of shape I can't ride uphill and my left arm is so weak I bash my face into the handlebars off any but the smallest rock.

Maybe by late May...

Glad to hear about the shoulder. There's a rumor that using pruning shears/clippers on trails (Guaje) is great therapy for bike injuries.

I'm hoping that whatever you hit is in worse shape than you are. Did a tree steal your line?

Not to completely derail the thread (where's Bryan when you need a thread good and derailed), but GR should be in great shape just after May16. The Jemez trail run goes down GR (as well as Guaje Canyon) and the organizers do a great job of clearing things. It'll be good till late summer when it'll locust up again. Used to get a good fall pruning when the Pajarito punishment ran down it. Now that the punishment is run at the ski hill, GR bushes over worse than a 70's porn star. ;)

Rogue mogul got my shoulder. No trees involved.

A bud and I attempted to clear the ridge on Friday, but there was too much snow at the top to commit going down with the motos. But Water Canyon, Canyon de Valle, Quemezon and Pipeline are all clear now. So are Nail and Pajarito Canyon, but someone got those before we did. You back in the saddle?

No worries Von. I am just as interested in your progress. Look forward to riding with you soon. Wasn't it this time last year that we hit SF in an attempt to clear REM?

Aye, as long as the trails have been approved for paraplegics, schoolgirls or the average knitting age grandmother. If you hit trails like that and want a whiny sissy-weiner along, give me a holler. I currently have some weird paranoia that if I crash, my left arm will just fall off. :skep:

When I saw the snow photos of Medio Dia earlier in the thread, I figured there'd be some of you crotch deep in snow at some point. Looks like you decided to turn around this time. Need me along to do the really dumb stuff...eh? :D

Conditions could not have been better! We were even contemplating another little lollipop off of MD, but it was getting late.

I was afraid to look at this thread. I thought it was gonna be another fruity 29'er post. Or pics of Bruce with his spandex shorts around his ankles.
Looks like a beautiful ride fellas. Damn, I gotta get out there. Thanks for sharing the great images.

Watch out Bruce has an army of elfs that will shake their fist at you and flatten you tires
